The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood-Chapter 979 - 980: Zi Xuan’s Fury

After beheading Yuwen Xifeng, Zi Aotian also lifted the Mocking Phoenix Domain. Maintaining such a domain was extremely exhausting for him.

"A genius who has condensed Nine Dragon Patterns, it’s a pity he’s destined to fall."

Zi Aotian said with a faint smile.

"Zi Aotian, do you really think you can kill me?"

Ye Mo had witnessed Zi Aotian’s ruthless methods with his own eyes, but his expression remained unchanged, and he looked at Zi Aotian with a gloomy gaze.

"What? Do you really think you can escape from my grasp?"

Zi Aotian sneered.

"Aren’t you afraid Zi Xuan will see you?"

Ye Mo glanced into the distance, smiling as he tried to buy time. He was only a hair’s breadth away from breaking the shackles of his cultivation.

"So it was you who saved Zi Xuan. That foolish girl thought it was me. I’ve already put her to sleep. Once I’ve killed you, no one will know what I’ve done."

As Zi Aotian spoke, his brow furrowed, and he suddenly turned around to see Zi Xuan looking at him with disbelief in her drowsy eyes, "Is what you said true?"

"How could you be here?"

Zi Aotian’s face immediately showed a look of disbelief. He had clearly used a Heart Spirit Attack to knock her out, so how could Zi Xuan be standing in front of him?

"Heh, Zi Aotian, didn’t you know that the Crimson Shadow Enchanting Disc, apart from being a body technique treasure, can also resist Heart Spirit Attacks?"

Ye Mo sneered. Of course, he didn’t know this; it was Hong Ling who told him.

"Brother Aotian, I never expected you would plot to kill Ye Mo. Ye Mo is a bloodline genius of our clan, and our clan’s rise relies on him. How can you kill him?"

Zi Xuan said incredulously. Although she didn’t understand great principles, she was clear about this.

"A genius?"

Zi Aotian’s face turned ferocious, "There are too many geniuses in the Ancient Azure Dragon Clan. There only needs to be one of me. On what basis can Ye Mo, an outsider, be a genius of my clan? On what basis can he take the glory that should have been mine?"

"Brother Aotian, this isn’t you. You weren’t like this before."

Zi Xuan shook her head repeatedly, her face filled with tears and disbelief. She couldn’t believe that the genius she admired since childhood was so selfish.

"I’m not like that? How well do you know me?"

Zi Aotian sneered, "Let me tell you the truth. I got close to you just to use you. Do you understand? You are a third-generation clan member and have a high status. I can use you to solidify my position. Your Bloodline Talent is at most like mine, only able to condense Seven Dragon Patterns. I have no reason to linger with you. I like the talented girl from the Mu Family, Mu Wanqing. You can’t compare to her at all, just like the people from the Yuwen Clan are merely tools for me."

Boom!

Zi Aotian’s words were like a bolt from the blue, crashing into Zi Xuan’s mind and causing her delicate body to tremble.

"Zi Aotian, you’ve gone too far."

Zi Xuan shouted, and instantly, Dragon Blood surged out from her body, enveloping her.

A crimson glow rose up with her at its center, her ruby eyes emitting a strange light, causing the whole mountain range to tremble.

"What in the world is happening?"

Zi Aotian stood perfectly still, unmoved, but his eyes were full of shock.

Even Ye Mo was greatly shocked, feeling that this scene was somehow familiar.

"Brother Ye Mo, isn’t this like the time you triggered the Dragon Blood state due to anger?"

The little girl said.

"It’s similar, but also different. Let’s watch and see."

Ye Mo kept his eyes fixed on Zi Xuan.

The sound of the tremor gradually faded away, and Zi Xuan’s long hair floated around her as something astonishing happened that shocked both Ye Mo and Zi Aotian.

Buzz!

A Golden Dragon Pattern appeared around Zi Xuan, followed by a second, third, fourth, and fifth one.

Zi Aotian, seeing this, was speechless: "How is this possible? Awakening Bloodline Power from one’s own bloodline—only the ancestors could do this! She woke up the Bloodline Power without going through the Dragon Transformation Pond? And those are Golden Dragon Marks?"

The scene made Zi Aotian numb, and he even forgot his task to kill Ye Mo. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The buzzing continued, with the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth dragon patterns lighting up one after another.

Nine Golden Dragon Patterns hovered around Zi Xuan, incredibly dazzling.

"Nine Golden Dragon Patterns, you’ve also condensed Nine Golden Dragon Patterns, and without going through the Dragon Transformation Pond."

Zi Aotian shook his head repeatedly, unable to believe his own eyes.

Even Zi Xuan couldn’t believe that her Bloodline Power awakened at this moment, and she even awakened Nine Golden Dragon Patterns.

"What’s happening to me? I’ve condensed Nine Golden Dragon Patterns, just like Ye Mo."

Zi Xuan said in amazement.

"Haha!"

Ye Mo, suppressed within the Mirage’s shadow, began to laugh wildly: "Zi Aotian, look, this is the girl you thought could only condense Seven Dragon Patterns. Her Bloodline Talent is identical to the ancestor’s. Do you still think she’s inferior to your so-called genius girl from the Mu Family?"

Arousing Bloodline Power by her own Dragon Blood, something even Ye Mo couldn’t achieve, this naive girl Zi Xuan managed to do unwittingly.

Condensing Nine Golden Dragon Patterns makes one the ultimate genius in anyone’s eyes. Especially those from the ancient unique clan understand the significance of Nine Dragon Patterns. If the power of Nine Dragon Patterns is used perfectly, it can elevate one’s strength by a whole tier.

Ye Mo’s words were like a resounding slap in Zi Aotian’s face. If he had cherished this naive little girl who ventured alone into the Corpse Ghoul Mountain Range, risking her life to find an ancient martial technique for him, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.

"Zi Aotian, you asked me earlier why I came to the Corpse Ghoul Mountain Range. I didn’t tell you then, but I’ll tell you now why I came here."

At this moment, Zi Xuan seemed much more mature, and her voice turned cold.

"Actually, I came to the Corpse Ghoul Mountain Range to find an ancient martial technique for you, so that you could secure one of the top three positions in the Lingwu Continent genius contest, thus allowing you to become the Clan Leader."

Zi Xuan extended her right hand and retrieved a jade scroll from the Sumeru ring, saying faintly: "This is something I just obtained from killing a Corpse Ghoul Beast at the Qiankun Sixth Rotation stage. It is the Wind Fire Tyrant Seal Art."

"Wind Fire Tyrant Seal Art? It’s said to seal a foe’s Mortal Gate unknowingly during combat, preventing them from using martial techniques. It’s a powerful ancient sealing martial art."

Zi Aotian exclaimed with surprise, stretching out his hands greedily: "Zi Xuan, give it to me. Once you’ve given it to me, we can kill Ye Mo and be together."

"This ancient martial technique was meant for you, but now it’s gone."

As Zi Xuan spoke, the jade scroll in her hand shattered, destroying a nearly divine-level ancient martial technique.

"No!"

Zi Aotian roared.
